Diametrenoun

alternative form of diameter

Diameternoun

Diameternoun

(geometry) The length of such a line.

Diameternoun

(geometry) The maximum distance between any two points in a metric space

Diameternoun

(graph theory) The maximum eccentricity over all vertices in a graph.

Diameternoun

Any right line passing through the center of a figure or body, as a circle, conic section, sphere, cube, etc., and terminated by the opposite boundaries; a straight line which bisects a system of parallel chords drawn in a curve.

Diameternoun

a straight line connecting the center of a circle with two points on its perimeter (or the center of a sphere with two points on its surface)

Diameter

In geometry, a diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. It can also be defined as the longest chord of the circle.
